Ok, sorry. I guess it is on some kind of "sharing" site that forces
you to read annoying advertisements or something. I don't know why the
developer did not put it directly on the sage site.

I don't think so. I think 4.1 should be ok. But for sure you do need a
version of Sage where ECL is the default lisp.

No, I don't think so.

Yes. Your log shows that it found "ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 9.4.1".

No, it is not necessary to install ECL separately  to install FriCAS in Sage.

But as Nils pointed out, ECL 9.4.1 is now also a little old. I think
Waldek mentioned earlier that he had a problem building FriCAS with
9.4.1 or similar version.  I had forgotten that for other reasons I
had already upgraded the ECL version in version 4.1.1 of Sage that I
have installed on my system. You should definitely ECL also upgrade
via

sage -i -s http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ghitza/ecl-9.8.4.spkg
